Hudson delayed his answer to Brownson's last letter, hoping to be able to go to Detroit this week, but because of a shortage of priests at Notre Dame he cannot. Tarducci's work ought to be the more acceptable for not being in the florid style; if it was, discriminating readers would be apt to think him a rhetorician rather than a historian and question the truth of his statements. James F. Edwards is back and was speaking of the photographs last night. Hudson would be glad to print as corners now and then extracts from Brownson's father's Orestes A. Brownson writings, the shorter the better. Three to eight corners are needed constantly. He writes in haste, with 3 or 4 hours of confessions to hear and asks to have his regrets expressed to Father Ernest Van Dyke. :: III-3-d A.L.S. 3pp. 12mo.
